Sorry for the delay after the posting below. All went well with seeing Jack.
I picked up some magazines(Parenthood, Glamour & a Ford Mustang) along with some snacks, some balloons and a pineapple at the grocery store before I picked Chris up from work around 8:30. Then we picked up some Sonic for the hungry parents and attempted to sneak in/sweet talk the security guard to get into the hospital after visiting hours. You wouldn't believe how many doors and intercoms we had to get access to even get into the hallway where the rooms were. Chris and I did have a laugh about the "Birth Unit" sign when we walked by. I don't know why it was funny...I just could imagine someone saying to me "Lady..you are ready! We are taking you to the *Dun Dun Dun* birthing unit." We got there around 9 and stayed till 11:30. Regina was a champion. She not only sat and held a conversation with us but she let us hold Jack the entire time. I was telling Chris on the way home how I probably will be extremely clingy when I have our first baby. I would just want to stare at it. Chris really shocked me with his reaction when he first saw Jack. He started getting really emotional and couldn't stop smiling while he held him. I've always known he was going to make a amazing dad but seeing him like that really touched me. I can't wait to have his children and be able to see the love in his eyes when he holds them.

It's a touching experience meeting your friends first child. I won't ever forget it. I do understand the baby fever everyone talks about after holding somebody's baby. Reality set in the next morning when I was laying in bed thanking my lucky stars that I still have a few more years. I like my me time.
